There are lots of activities that you can do in Chapala and Ajijic. You can go boating, sailing, water skiing, etc. In town, there are theaters, concerts, dinners, and associations in the area that initiate different types of activities for everyone, especially for foreigners, to join. There are lots of activities and things to do here in Chapala and Ajijic all year round. Chapala and Ajijic is also a good escape for the weekends if you want to go away from the big city of Guadalajara.

 

There are several activities that you can do on Lake Chapala now. It has been recovered and you can now see more life in the lake. There are new kinds of fish in it such as tilapia, which were brought in.

 

Lake Chapala is no longer polluted. You can go water skiing with the water coming on you and you can go swimming in the lake, too. I went water skiing just recently and it’s great! I like doing it.

 

My favorite things to do in Chapala and Ajijic are going to the lake and going to the mountains, especially at the latter part of the year where we have a lot of water and everything is green. I also love going out to dinner with my wife and my family once a week.

Yes, you can buy good clothes in Portugal.

 

I’m tall, so when I first came to Portugal many years ago, I couldn’t find anything to fit me, so I ended up having to go to a dressmaker. Now you don’t need to do that at all because you can get practically everything like you can get in the States or in England. And now that the Chinese are doing business here in Portugal, there are massive, great department stores as well.

And so if you want “cheap and cheerful” you’ve got “cheap and cheerful.” If you want to spend a lot, there are plenty of places to do that. Clothes are easy to get here. Shoes are easy. In fact, Portugal has become the second country next to Italy to produce the best shoes.

I love San Juan Del Sur and the beaches. San Juan Del Sur is a fishing village. It is unique and there is a little bit of a mix of cultures because a lot of foreign people live there now, so you will find Nicaraguans, Italians, Americans, etc. The view is very relaxing and there are beautiful houses if you want to retire there. If you like to walk, San Juan del Sur is small town, so I like San Juan Del Sur very much.

My second choice to live would be in northern Nicaragua, especially if you want to live somewhere close to nature. The area of Matagalpa and Jinotega has a cooler weather with a breeze and mountain views, so it is very relaxing. If you love nature, that is the place for you.

I have eaten in Corozal at what I would consider to be a very good 3 to 4 star restaurant with a great ambiance.  It was lovely. We had drinks, appetizers, a main entre of fish and dessert for US $20 for two people. So it was very inexpensive pleasantly so, even though it may be the most expensive place in Corozal.

 

There are other burrito / mom and pop type places as well.  We had breakfast at a place that was almost like it was somebody’s...

There are other burrito / mom and pop type places as well.  We had breakfast at a place that was almost like it was somebody’s home that was a great locals’ breakfast place and I think it was about $5 for both of us for breakfast. It was amazing.
